live from linuxworld.
I figured, what better place to start my geek journal that
at the largest collection of geeks i've ever seen in my
entire life. LinuxWorld is
surprisingly hip. I don't feel totally devoid
here. I'm also totally pumped that people actually
understand what it is that I do and (gasp) where it is that
I work. You say metalab
around here and people go nuts. this one guy from Australia
thought it was the coolest thing in the world that I had a
metalab email account. wow.
So i'm thinking that this Silicon Valley place ain't that
bad. It's fast paced, to be sure. But the people here a
relatively cool, if not a bit disconnected at times (meaning
disconnected from LIFE, not the 'net). The weather's
incredible, though, and San Francisco was one of the nicer
big cities I've ever been to. We'll see.
So that's it so far.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser
code is live. It needs further work but already handles most
markup better than the original parser.
